Ground from the Ground  is an ongoing project that sources items on, and in, the ground to make raw, regional, folk paintings. Local plants and minerals are either crushed in a mortar and pestle to make raw materials or examined through a ball lens to find vegetal motifs unique to each location. Exhibition space gradually becomes an ‘apothecary’ of color studies, dried still-life arrangements, and fresh paintings.
